Abstract

A color display device, comprising: an array of subpixels of at least four different colors, including at least two relatively higher luminous color subpixels and at least two relatively lower luminous color subpixels, wherein the subpixels are arranged into groups forming at least two distinct types of pixels, each pixel type including the two relatively higher luminous color subpixels and at least one of the two relatively lower luminous color subpixels, and wherein the pixel types are arranged in a pattern such that the relative locations of the two relatively higher luminous color subpixels in each pixel is repeated in adjacent pixels, and the relative location of at least one of the two relatively lower luminance color subpixels is not repeated in at least one adjacent pixel. Various embodiments of the invention enable color display devices with improved image display quality, with both the appearance of jagged lines and the appearance of banding reduced simultaneously.
